P. Handel, PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A CONSTRAINED YULE-WALKER FREQUENCY ESTIMATOR, IEICE transactions on fundamentals of electronics, communications and computer science, E80A(12), 1997, pp. 2600-2602
The performance of a constrained (that is, minimal order) Yule-Walker
(CYW) single tone frequency estimator is studied. A closed form expres
sion for the asymptotic error variance is derived. It is shown that CY
W does not satisfactorily utilize the information in data, and estimat
ors with improved performance are proposed, Simulation results which l
end support to the theoretical findings are included.
